Bay of Bengal Conversation 2025

The Bay of Bengal Conversation is a premier annual geopolitical forum hosted by the Centre for Governance Studies in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Bringing together leaders, diplomats, and thinkers from across the Indo-Pacific, it fosters frank dialogue on the rivalries, risks, and opportunities shaping our shared future. In an era of rising tensions, the Conversation stands as a call to replace confrontation with conversation.
